The Bush administration proposes conscience rule for doctors who don't want to do their fucking jobs

[lissie_pissie]

I don't know anything about politics, I've never really followed them at all, but it doesn't matter in this case - I may not be a political know-it-all, but I AM a woman. I am so fucking angry right now. And I'm not going to sugar-coat anything and I don't care if there are any Bush supporters or republicans or pro-life people on my flist who this

This is why I can't wait till your country gets rid of Bush. Or damn, Republicans running your country. I am so on the Obama train, protecting woman's right, and trusting her to make decisions for herself. Is this a Bill? Because I find it hard to believe this is being passed with enough votes... (And I completely suck at other countries politics.)

And what happened to remaining objective, and not being emotionally involved on the job, especially as a doctor? Sure, they can offer medically reasons, but who is anyone to offer ethical reasoning, without imposing on a person's right?

I am so fucking ready for him to go. I originally had that hyperlink as "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OFFICE". I don't know anything about Obama at all (I seriously don't follow politics) but I will totally vote for him.

What has he done for your country? Heh, I occasionally watch CNN, but other than that things get brought up in class, yes, we actually do have to learn a bit of American History (lol, I debated over this). I would have been fine with Clinton or Obama. Because McCain sounds exactly like Bush.

Actually, if you want to get technical, the USA is more run by Democrats at the moment than it is run by Republicans. And because of that, this will probably get shot down anyways.

The government (both here and where you are) are continually trying to take away the womans right to choice. Small steps like this are slowly going to add up to it being just illegal. And it is disgusting.

You are absolutely right. It is nobody's choice but the womans and she should have that right to choose if she needs it. Nothing makes me angrier than pro-lifers. But I have only just woken up and am finding it hard to type let alone make any sensible arguments. sorry :(

IAWTC basically.

[lissie_pissie]

That is fucking ridiculous. When it is legal, both pro-choice and pro-life people win. If you're pro-life, don't get a fucking abortion. But at least ACCEPT that MAYBE there are SOME PEOPLE who don't think the same as you and that there isn't anything wrong with that besides a difference in opinion. I cannot even believe I am under rule of such a close-minded government.

It bugs me when people associate being pro-choice with people who aren't concerned with the well-being of unborn children. UM NO. I'm pro-choice, but I'm also pro-life. It's not my aim to abort every unborn baby out there. ffsffgnjadhjk

[codestothestars]

that's disgusting. every time i see something about pro-life, i throw up a bit in my mouth. it's our fucking BODY. let US choose how we treat it. fuck.

[lissie_pissie]

I am fucking outraged. I don't know how anyone can sit and fucking picket and rally for all of that pro-life shit.

[red_scully]

Personally, I am not pro-choice, BUT I totally agree with you that if you're in a profession that means you have to do things against your beliefs, then either do it or find another job. A few weeks ago there was a story in the paper about a woman who went to the chemist to get the morning-after pill because the condom split the night before. And the person who served her was of a religious persuasion which said the morning after pill is immoral, so they refused to give it to her. WTH. No. Don't be a chemist if you're not comfortable selling every. single. drug. in your cabinet. And don't be a doctor if you're not comfortable with dealing with abortions. I think people need to realise that they can't always have their way.

ETA... I hope I'm no gonna get shot down for the first bit of this post. *hides*

[lissie_pissie]

People have to do things they're against ALL THE TIME at work. And they either do them, or refuse to do them and get fired. What bothers me about this is they seem to think that doctors should be allowed to have it both ways.

[red_scully]

Exactly. If you don't believe in abortion but you want to be a doctor, go do it somewhere that abortion is illegal. Don't inflict your beliefs on others.

[litterthisheart]

YES. JOIN THE OUTRAGE

Sorry, that should be ontd_political not ontd_politics. I must have been blinded by rage.

[lissie_pissie]

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS - LACK OF RESPECT.

It guarantees that more kids will grow up in unstable homes, will grow up a parent/parents who cannot necessarily provide for them.
I KNOW! that is horrible! why would anyone want that?!

It guarantees more children in an already overcrowded and broken foster care system- a system where many of them will end up being abused.
Lisa Edelstein feels very strongly about this.

I see no need to be delicate in this matter or accommodating to others' beliefs. This is wrong.
thank you.

oh they want to limit birth control as well. GREAT. I could literally throw up, I am so upset.

And dont they realize that if they dont let people get an abortion, they're just going to try to do it themselves? and that will fuck them up so much more. AND THE RAPE THING, GOD THAT BOTHERS ME. IF I GET RAPED AND GET PREGNANT, I DO NOT WANT THAT THING LIVING IN ME AND I DONT EVER WANT TO LOOK AT IT WHEN IT COMES OUT, EITHER. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO RAISE IT.

LMAO. pussy.
